Portland Twitter Meet-Up Resounding Success!

OK, it'd be generous to call it a "handful" of people who showed up with just 30 minutes notice. But we still had a great time, with great conversation about the Web and entrepreneurship and where it's all going. It convinced me to absolutely do this in every city I go to from now on, so watch out Twitter because your city could be next! Speaking of, I'm loving all the responses from the Sarah Lacy User Generated Book Tour idea. DC seems to be getting the most love to date...

Here's a photo of me and Portlander John Weiss at the meetup last night. He got a signed book and a free drink! Your chance in your city coming soon...

"Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky" puts a well-deserved spotlight on the fascinating entrepreneurs working in some of the most overlooked places on Earth. This book reminds us that when entrepreneurial opportunity is enabled and embraced locally, the economic and social benefits have the power to transform us all.
Brilliant. Crazy. Cocky.

New Book

An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.
